Abstract
⺠Lumbricus rubellus from arsenic contaminated sites were tolerant to the metalloid. ⺠Mitochondrial and nuclear marker identified L. rubellus as two cryptic lineages. ⺠Soil As influenced genome structure for both clades, strongly so for Lineage A. ⺠Lineage B earthworms also showed epigenetic variations related to soil As. ⺠Two cryptic L. rubellus lineages use different mechanisms to adapt to As exposure.
